I have this set, and loved it. It has good parts and a chainmail minifig torso. The mismatched shield doesn't mean much to me. Back in the day, there were plenty of shields to be had. As a matter of fact, I used these guys for archers (put on a dome helmet).

The term "Hobby" allows you to explain to your relatives why you still play with toys...

Another cool little castle set. I really like the crusader mini-fig and the catapult is nice too. I think it's weird that this crusader has black legs though. But nonetheless I would defiantly give this set a 7/10.
